Technology is everywhere — our phones, cars, shopping experiences, and even the way we get food is touched by technology. New advancements and innovations are the reason that so many life-saving medicines and treatments have become widely available. Why wouldn’t technology help dentists? The best dental technology available can help our patients feel comfortable and help us to better assist you. Our team embraces the best and the latest dental technology, and we love guiding our patients on their path to good lifelong oral health.
Malcolm Murray, DDS and Ranya Ghumrawi, DMD lead our team at MJM Family and Cosmetic Dentistry located in Fairfax, Virginia. Together, we provide premium patient care for the smile of your dreams. Using dental technology designed for ease and comfort, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and caring follow-up. We even offer sedation dentistry for the most anxious patients. We love dental innovations and love educating our patients, too.
For exams
X-rays are central to our examination procedures. X-rays can show us more than just looking into your mouth. With an image of your whole mouth and all of your teeth, gums, and jaw, we can easily spot dental conditions that can affect your daily life.
But traditional X-rays use radiation, which could cause cancer with frequent exposure. And as useful as they are, X-ray films must be filed like traditional paperwork and can be lost or damaged.
Our team is proud to offer digital X-rays, which use 90% less radiation while giving us the view of your mouth and teeth that we need to properly diagnose you. Digital X-rays are clean, precise, and available for us to view within seconds.
For minor surgical procedures
Our NV® Soft Tissue Microlaser is one of the many innovations that we have to make your experience at the dentist more comfortable. This small laser is one of the instruments used to treat dental issues and diseases. With it, we can treat a variety of periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative treatments for our deserving patients.
Our laser offers less pain and discomfort than we could with traditional dental instruments. Our microlaser also makes our procedures more efficient. Dental services that took a long time in the past can now be offered the same day, with fewer side effects.
For cavities, crowns, and bridges
What if we told you that we can catch a cavity before it becomes a problem? With our DIAGNOdent™ technology, we can do just that. By shining a special light on your teeth, we see inside of each tooth, checking for signs of tooth decay and cavities.
We would never forget about patients that need crowns and/or bridges. For our patients looking to fill a gap in their smile or to strengthen an existing tooth, we offer digital impressions. Like our soft tissue laser, it cuts down on the unpleasant aspects of the procedure. Instead of biting into a foul-tasting compound and waiting weeks for the impressions to return, we use digital impressions to make the best possible molds for your teeth. With a reduced turnaround time to deliver your crown or bridge, you’ll be that much closer to going back to your daily life.
If you’re ready for a more comfortable dental procedure, we’re ready for you. Call us today, or use our online scheduling tool to make an appointment at your convenience.
